100% correct, it is a matter of personal taste, a buyers money, spent the way they want to. Just as if they were shopping for a new car and deciding what color to choose.

Well, yes, and no, the more "history" a car has, the more "historically significant" it is.
IE: A car driven hard and put away broken is less valuable than a car raced, wrecked, rebuilt, and raced again.
Or
A car owned by a well known movie star being more "historically significant" than a car owned by someone without such a heritage.

PS: I'm surprised you did not ask these same questions on the saacforum.com site, as they deal with originals on a daily basis.
